Most women who
have breast cancer also wear a restrictive
brassiere. This cuts off blood and lymph to some
extent, and to that extent it puts the breasts in
jeopardy. You should not wear a bra if you have
breast cancer, and if you do anyway, it should
be made only of cotton or silk, and should be loose
enough to avoid restricting blood and lymph flow. If
you can, wear a camisole or thin-strapped tank top
instead.

Moderate
exercise gives all the health benefits of vigorous
exercise, without the injuries.

Interest
in health and fitness in North America is
growing, yet practical involvement in daily
exercise such as jogging is declining. 80% of
people who join fitness clubs drop out within
the first 8 weeks. Three workouts a week is not
practical for most people.

The real
answer for fitness is a simple diet of wholesome
foods and the integration of physical activity
into your daily life. Climb stairs, walk to the
store, ride a bicycle, wash the dishes by hand,
use a push mower to cut the grass, plant a
garden, shovel show instead of using a snow
blower, do a set of yoga asanas before each
meditation, go for a walk after dinner each
day... Search every aspect of your life to find
opportunities to integrate physical activity
into your daily routine.

Beyond
this, if you want to do some "exercise", then we
recommend you purchase a rebound mini-trampoline
for your home.

The
rebound mini-trampoline is about 3' in diameter
and 9" high. Foldable models are available for
traveling. It is safe, easy to use, and
effective. Research has led some scientists to
conclude that, "Rebound exercise is the most
efficient and effective exercise yet devised by
man."

The rebound mini-trampoline subjects the
body to gravitational pulls ranging from
zero at the top of each bounce to 2 - 3
times the force of gravity at the
bottom, depending on how high the person
is rebounding. Unlike jogging on hard
surfaces which puts extreme stress on
certain joints such as the ankles and
knees eventually damaging them,
rebounding affects every joint and cell
in the body equally. Plus, there are no
cars, dogs, and bad weather to contend
with.

Doctors recommend that everyone get moderate
exercise three to four times each week. Dr.
Dean Ornish's program for reversing heart
disease, for example, includes walking 30
minutes daily or 60 minutes every other day.
This recommendation is due to the body's
inbuilt need for activation. The lymph system, for example, bathes
every cell, carrying nutrients to the cell
and waste products away. Yet the lymph is
totally dependent on physical exercise to
move. Without adequate movement, the cells
are left stewing in their own waste products
and starving for nutrients, a situation that
contributes to arthritis, cancer and other
degenerative diseases as well as aging.
Vigorous exercise such as rebounding is
reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to
30 times. Bones become stronger with
exercise.

Women
who exercise regularly reduce their risk of
breast cancer by 72%. - New England
Journal of Medicine, May 1, 1997.

The
lymph fluid moves through channels called
"vessels" that are filled with one way
valves, so it always moves in the same
direction. The main lymph vessels run up the
legs, up the arms, up the torso, and down
from the face into the neck. This is why the
vertical up and down movement of rebounding
is so effective to pump the lymph.

"...the lymph
nodes are part of our system of
protective mechanisms, which if
undisturbed may be able to overcome
the malignancy, but which is
significantly damaged by removal of
the nodes." - Dr. Ewan Cameron and
Dr. Linus Pauling.

Restrictive clothing prevents the flow of
blood and lymph. Wearing a bra to prevent
sagging breasts actually weakens the muscles
and connective tissue helping to create
sagging breasts. The free movement of the
breasts during walking and exercise helps to
pump lymph through the breast tissue.

In
addition to exercise,
Dr. Dean Ornish's 4 step program to
prevent and reverse heart disease includes
vegetarian diet, non-smoking, and meditation. Individuals practicing Transcendental
Meditation have 87% fewer hospital
admissions for heart disease. So you can
see that our 8 step program to prevent and
reverse cancer should be effective against
heart disease as well. Clean arteries are
necessary so that oxygen can be freely
distributed to all parts of the body, an
important factor in cancer prevention and
removal.

EDTA chelation also effectively
cleans out the arteries. "While 800,000
Americans die every year from heart disease,
a cheap, effective medical remedy continues
to be suppressed." -
Dr. James P. Carter, M.D. Intravenous
hydrogen peroxide "will clean arteries of
atherosclerotic buildup," -
Dr. Douglass, page 36. Dr. Ornish's
program has the advantage that you can do it
on your own at home and on an ongoing basis
so that your arteries remain clean.
Other ways to help the arteries are
described on our page for Healthy Heart and Circulation.

Rebounding is a zero-impact aerobic exercise
that improves blood circulation and
increases the capacity of both the heart and
lungs. With regular rebounding the resting
heart rate can decline 10 beats per minute,
which means 5,000 fewer heartbeats in a
single night's sleep.

Your Pulse
Rate Reflects Your Fitness Level

When you
awaken in the morning - before
moving - take your pulse for one
full minute. This is your
resting pulse. People with pulse
rates from 40 to 60 are very
fit, 60 to 80 are normal, and 80
to 100 are usually unfit. -
Bragg page 61.

The
rebounding motion stimulates all internal
organs, moves the cerebral-spinal fluid
(exercise improves
brain health),
aqueous fluid within the eyes (many people
claim improved eyesight), and does wonders
for the intestines. Many immune cells
such as T-lymphocytes and macrophages are
self-propelled by amoebic action. These
cells contain molecules identical to those
in muscle tissue. All cells in the body
become stronger in response to the increased
G force during rebounding, and this cellular
exercise results in the self-propelled
immune cells being up to 5 times more
active. The job description of these
cells includes eating viruses, bacteria
and even cancer cells, so it is good
that they be active. This exercise directly
strengthens the immune system.

"It has long been
known that the degree of lymphocytic
infiltration, the number of
aggressive lymphocytes congregating
in and around a tumor (as can
readily be seen on a microscope
slide) bears a close relation to the
outlook." - Dr. Ewan Cameron and Dr.
Linus Pauling. Consumption of
high doses of
vitamin C can triple your
body's production of lymphocytes!

You
will recall from our
Cancer Self Treatment page that
when the mucus and fibrin coating of cancer cells has
been dissolved by enzymes then the cells of the
immune system will attack the cancer cells.
Therefore, enzyme supplements combined with
vitamin C and rebound exercise
are a useful
way to combat cancer. This simple program
gives cancer a triple whammy, because you
have up to three times as many immune cells
that are each up to five times more active,
eating cancer cells that are now vulnerable
to attack by these immune cells. A
vegetarian diet is also helpful because the
pancreatic enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin
are used by the body to digest animal
proteins. If you do not eat animal proteins
then the body's store of trypsin and
chymotrypsin is available for attacking
cancer. Plus, we saw on the
Hyperthermia page that
hyperthermia is most effective when used
together with exercise and enhanced
nutrition.

Everyone starts
with the "health bounce" which means
your feet remain in contact with the
mat while the body moves up and
down. The health bounce is
sufficient to give all the benefits
of rebounding while gently
strengthening the entire body. The
health bounce can be done while
talking on the phone, listening to
music or watching TV. It is
recommended that you wear running
shoes or do your rebounding with
bare feet so you do not slip.

Adults
start with 5 minutes of rebounding and
increase their time as fitness improves.
Seniors start with 2 minutes ten times per
day, with at least 30 minutes between
sessions. It is necessary for older people
to start gradually in order to give the
connective tissue holding internal organs in
place time to strengthen. This prevents the
possibility of prolapsed organs - the only
contra-indication to rebounding reported in
the literature. This is doubly important if
you have had surgery that may have cut the
connective tissue holding organs. Inactive or wheel-chair
bound seniors find that rebounding gives
them renewed vigor and zest for life. Blind
or handicapped people can purchase a hand
rail that attaches to their rebound
mini-trampoline. Hyperactive children are
reported to calm down after a few days of
rebounding. Rebounding is for everyone.
People can use the rebound mini-trampoline
whenever they have a few minutes during the
day.

***

Before you fold
your rebounder, it is very important to use the
velcro straps to pull the spring cover away from the
hinges. If you do not do this, then the spring cover
will be torn and when you unfold your rebounder the
torn spring cover will be caught in the hinges.
Messy!

Jerome, John,
Staying Supple - The Bountiful Pleasures of Stretching,
Breakaway Books, 1998. The only thing any muscle can do
is contract. All stretching is aimed at pulling it back
out to its proper length. Contracting muscles keeps them
alive, stretching them keeps them elastic. Keeps them,
and thus you, supple. Function is maintained by use.
Every hard training day should be alternated with a rest
day. Use the rest day to stretch. Pull out the
sorenesses. Work them but don't stress them. A lot of
hatha yoga is in general use in physical therapy but
isn't called by that name, in order not to scare people
off. Avoid injury (traumatic loading) by doing things
the easy way. "More moves go bad because they're
launched too early than because they're too late. As a
canny old pro once told me, you have to have the
confidence to take the time."

Aspartame and other chemicals in
the diet may also be a factor.Buildup of toxic
chemicals in muscle tissue may cause
inflammation and spasms.
Hyperthermia may be an effective
means to remove this toxic material,
allowing the muscles to relax.

Muscle
tone is impacted by emotion.
This is one reason why calming the mind and
dissolving stress with
meditation can relax the body.

We find that
electromagnetic radiation (cell phones,
smart meters, WIFI and other nearby sources
of electromagnetic pollution) can cause
muscles to become tense, particularly in the
neck and shoulders.

Singer, Sydney Ross, and Soma
Grismaijer,
Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras,Avery Publishing Group, 1995.
Fibrocystic Breast Disease is "Tight Bra Syndrome" -
Sydney Ross Singer, September 27, 1998: "When Soma and
I did our research for Dressed To Kill we were
not aware of how easily women can recover from
fibrocystic breast disease by foregoing the bra. Bras,
by their very design, alter the shape of the breasts for
fashion. To alter breast shape you have to apply
constant pressure on the breast tissue. That is why bras
are elastic garments. This pressure from the bra impedes
the circulation in the breast tissue, specifically, the
circulation of the lymphatic system. This system is
composed of microscopic vessels that originate in the
breast tissue and drain the tissue of fluid, which is
directed through these vessels to the lymph nodes. The
lymphatic vessels are extremely thin and small, and have
no pump, such as the heart, to propel its contents
forward. As a result, lymphatic vessels are easily
constricted by external pressure, such as that applied
to the breast tissue constantly by the brassiere. It is
compression of these lymph vessels that prevents the
proper draining of the breast tissue, leading to fluid
accumulation in the breast. Medically, this is called
lymphedema of the breast, secondary to constriction from
the bra. This fluid accumulation leads to breast
tenderness and pain, and ultimately the fluid develops
into cysts. The cysts over time become hard, and we have
a picture of the creation of fibrocystic breast disease.
Within days or weeks of ending breast constriction by
bras, the breast tissue is allowed to flush out this
excess fluid, cysts disappear, and breast pain and
tenderness are minimal if at all present. From our
research with hundreds of women, getting rid of the bra
has resulted in remarkable recovery of breast health in
over 95% of the cases. Since foregoing the bra for a
month is cost-free and risk-free, and may prove
beneficial, we encourage all women who wear bras to
partake in a self-study to see for themselves, on
themselves, whether their bras have been damaging their
breasts. Keep in mind that breast disease is only a
problem in bra wearing cultures. Women who are
bra-free have the same breast cancer incidence as men.
And don't wait for the cancer detection and treatment
industry to endorse this information before you try it.
Billions of dollars are made each year treating breast
cancer. Nobody will make money by women loosening up to
prevent this disease. The prevention of breast disease
is up to each individual woman. Just stop binding the
breasts with bras in the name of fashion, and begin to
love yourself and respect your body." Editor's note:
Enzymes and vitamin E can also dissolve
breast lumps, and
potassium iodide has been found to help
fibrocystic breast disease.

"Farmers
use cooked potatoes to fatten pigs for market.
They've found that pigs on cooked potatoes
fatten faster and more economically than pigs on
raw potatoes. This evidence shows the great
difference between cooked calories and raw
calories. Indeed, from my work in a sanitarium
many years ago, I've found that it was
impossible to get people fat on raw foods,
regardless of the calorie intake." - Dr.
Edward Howell

Fat in
your body is mostly long-chain fatty acids.
Coconut oil and palm kernel oil are medium chain
fatty acids, and so these fatty acids rarely end
up as body fat. Instead they are burned by the
body for energy. Pacific Islanders eat
tremendous quantities of coconut oil and enjoy
good health. When coconut products are fed to
pigs, the pigs lose weight.

"Decreased
vitamin D levels result in less production and
secretion of the hormone leptin. Leptin was
recently discovered to be one of the primary
hormones involved in fat storage and weight
loss. Millions of dollars are now being spent on
trying to duplicate these effects by
artificially increasing levels of leptin in the
body or turning it into a weight-loss drug. The
simple answer, of course, is to ensure you're
producing and/or receiving adequate amounts of
vitamin D." - Dr. David Williams

You might
mount a
Vitamin D sunlamp beside your rebounder so
you
can enjoy double benefit during the time spent
rebounding.

If you enjoy
walking, buy a pedometer and try to walk 10,000 steps
per day. The average North American adult walks 3,000 to
5,000 steps per day. A study of an Old Order Amish
community in Ontario, Canada found that the women walk
an average of 14,196 steps each day and the men averaged
18,425 steps a day. Most of these steps were while doing
hard physical labor. Despite healthy appetites, very few
of these people were overweight. (Med Sci Sports
Exers 04;36(1):79-85). Regular walking for about 45
minutes two or three times per week increases the blood
flow to the brain and results in improved learning,
memory, and attention span in older adults. (Proc
Matl Acad Sci 04;101(9):3316-21 and Brain Behav
Immun 01:18(3):214-20)

To have optimum
weight and stay healthy, consume equal quantities of
omega-3 (flax oil) and omega-6 (olive oil) essential
fatty acids, eat an enzyme rich, nutrient dense diet and
get sufficient exercise so that you burn all the
calories that you eat. A small amount of sugar helps the
food go down. Too much sugar displaces the food and
leaves you with a starving fat body.

One of the causes of the
present epidemic of obesity is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
HFCS is cheaper than sugar and is found in manufactured food
products in great quantities. "Unlike table sugar, HFCS doesn't
trigger the release of leptin, the substance that makes you feel
full and stop eating. Worse still, it doesn't suppress the
release of ghrelin, the substance that makes you hungry." - Dr.
David Williams. If you want to control your weight, it is
absolutely necessary to avoid any products that contain high
fructose corn syrup. HFCS is a manufactured product that first
entered the food supply in the 1970's. More than any other food,
HFCS is responsible for the obesity epidemic. High fructose corn
syrup also ruins your liver.

85% of human pain is caused by muscles.
Chronic tension in the muscles can be
painful in its own right, but it has many
consequences due to blockage of the flow of
lymph, pressure on nerves and blood vessels,
and abnormal wear on the joints. Chronic
muscle tension prevents full range of motion
of the joints, distorts posture, interferes
with coordination and weakens the entire
musculature. Chronic tension consumes energy
and nutrients, and generates excessive waste
products. Relaxed muscles will stretch
whereas tense muscles will tear.

The particular insight offered by trigger
point therapy comes from focusing on
individual muscle fibers. Individual muscle
fibers or clumps of fibers can be locked in
tension even when the muscle as a whole is
relaxed and seeming to function normally.
These knots of tense muscle fibers can be as
small as the head of a pin or the size of a
grain of rice or larger. If large enough
they can be felt. Trigger point therapy is a
type of massage designed to release these
knots of tension in the muscles.

requires that you keep your connective tissue healthy. You
do that by giving it an appropriate level of use.
Appropriate use means, among other things, avoiding
traumatic loading."
